Dr. Gero was already impatient. He opened the glass container holding the Eternal Energy Furnace and carefully took out the two furnaces.
He grinned maliciously as he approached No. 18 step by step. Just as No. 18 was in despair, a familiar figure appeared in front of No. 18.
The newcomer had long, snow-white hair that was spread out loose; it was Senga who had rushed over.
With a casual wave of his hand, the belts binding No. 18 and Lapis shattered instantly. While Lapis was still in a daze, No. 18 had already hugged Senga from behind.
For an 18-year-old girl, being captured by a perverted doctor and experimented on is indeed terrifying.
She hugged Senga tightly and cried out,
"Senga, you're finally here! I was so scared!"
Senga patted No. 18's hand a few times and said,
"Don't be afraid, I'm here now."
Dr. Gero's expression darkened. He turned to look at No. 12 and said in a deep voice,
"What happened? How did Uchiha Senga find this place? Were you being followed?"
No. 12 looked completely bewildered, and she responded,
"That's impossible! I waited until he was completely gone before I made my move!"
Dr. Gero cursed himself inwardly as useless. He began to slowly move backward and gave the order to No. 12.
"Kill him! Be careful not to destroy the lab!"
A red light flashed in No. 12's eyes. She had been thoroughly modified, and her strength wasn't very high, so she was very obedient to Dr. Gero's orders.
She pried open her wrists again, aimed the cannon at Senga, and soon a blue energy ball appeared at the muzzle.
No. 18 instinctively gripped Senga's arm, while Labis behind him swallowed hard. After all, they were just ordinary humans, and they still had a natural fear of firearms.
Senga gazed calmly at No. 12 ahead, extending a finger and conjuring a purple ball of Inazuma at its tip.
As soon as the ball Inazuma appeared, the detector in Eye No. 12 started to jump wildly, and even a red exclamation mark appeared, all of which reminded her how terrifying the energy contained in that ball Inazuma was.
She instinctively wanted to escape, but the crystal implanted in her by Dr. Gero made it impossible for her to disobey the order to "kill Senga".
Finally, she released the energy she had condensed, and at the same time, a bolt of purple Inazuma shot out from Senga's fingertip.
As expected, the energy ball she emitted was instantly annihilated by Inazuma, followed by her body, which exploded into scattered mechanical fragments with a loud bang.
One No. 12 the eyes, connected by wires, rolled to Dr. Gero's feet. The black pupil in the center was still flashing red, suggesting that she still retained a trace of consciousness.
Dr. Gero showed no mercy. He stomped his foot down hard, making a popping sound, and blood mixed with engine oil spread from his foot.
He was still not satisfied with that and cursed her as a piece of trash.
This brutal scene was a frenzied stimulation to the senses of No. 18 and Lapis.
No. 18 was alright; she closed her eyes the moment Dr. Gero lifted his foot. However, Lapis witnessed the entire explosion, and now he felt a churning in his stomach, as if he might vomit at any moment.
Senga didn't react much. He had killed far more people Dr. Gero, and things like exploding corpses were child's play to him.
He raised his hand again, aiming it at Dr. Gero, Dr. Gero quickly waved his hand and said...
"Wait a minute! We can actually cooperate! With my technology and your power combined, ruling the world—no, ruling the entire universe—wouldn't be difficult for us!"
Senga raised an eyebrow and asked,
"Oh? I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, you seem to know me?"
"Yes, when Raditz came to Earth, I sent a miniature reconnaissance robot to the scene, and it witnessed you killing Raditz. Your power is truly immense!"
Senga then remembered that Dr. Gero did indeed have a type of miniature robot. These things had extremely small energy responses and were not easy to detect. In the original story, they even went to Planet Namek with Goku and the others.
Upon hearing that Senga had actually killed someone before this, No. 18 couldn't help but ask,
"Senga, who is Raditz? Why did you kill him?"
No. 18 didn't think Senga was cruel; she was simply worried that Senga would be arrested by the police.
There's no way around it; as a citizen of Earth, when it comes to matters of life and death, I can't help but think of legal issues.
"An alien came to destroy Earth, so I killed him."
"Is that so? Then Senga, you're a great hero who saved the world!"
No. 18 had no doubts about Senga's words and immediately went into worship mode.
Lapis, standing behind, thought to himself,
"You believe everything I say? When did you become so love-struck?"
However, thinking about all the bizarre things that happened today, he suddenly felt that this matter wasn't so outrageous after all.
And Senga just suddenly appeared here, and she can even unleash Inazuma from her fingertips! Do you know how attractive teleportation and electric shocks are to a guy?
He blurted out a sentence as if possessed.
"Brother-in-law, you absolutely mustn't believe that old geezer's nonsense! He's clearly no good!"
The word "brother-in-law" startled Senga for a moment, and No. 18 blushed deeply. She turned her head and glared at Lapis, but did not utter a word in rebuttal.
This time, Lapis wasn't afraid of his sister. He jumped off the experimental table, ran to Senga's side, and said...
"Brother-in-law, you were so cool just now! By the way, could you teach me that electric shock move?"
Hearing Lapis calling him "brother-in-law" repeatedly, Senga found it amusing and teased him.
"So he's become my brother-in-law now? Didn't you even ask your sister for permission?"
"Isn't it obvious? Whether she agrees or not, you're still my brother-in-law!"
"Lapis!"
No. 18 couldn't hold back any longer. She punched Lapis on the head, causing him to squat down and clutch his head in pain.
Senga asked, feigning surprise.
Why did you hit him? Did you change your mind?
No. 18 was startled; she was genuinely afraid that Senga had misunderstood something, and quickly explained.
"How could I regret it? I confessed to you so directly. I only hit him because I felt he was a little embarrassed..."
As she spoke, No. 18 gently rubbed her face against Senga's back twice. With practice, her coquettishness seemed much more natural this time.
Lapis squatted on the ground, holding his head and muttering to himself.
"Tch, she forgets about her brother as soon as she gets a man, how pathetic!"
